How to service and repair the catalytic converter on the 2.3L manifold on 2008 Ford Escape?

The first step to servicing or repairing the 2.3L manifold catalytic converter includes removing both exhaust flexible pipe components and the two bolts from the catalytic converter bracket. You should first remove the six heat shield bolts along with the heat shield itself. Perform a disconnect of the heated oxygen sensor (HO2S) electrical connector and the catalyst monitor sensor electrical connector. Take out the seven catalytic converter manifold nuts before removing the unit from the vehicle along with the catalytic converter manifold gasket discarding it. Electricians must remove seven catalytic converter manifold studs then inspect and clean the catalytic converter manifold. The installation process begins with installing seven new catalytic converter studs then securing them to 17 Nm (13 lb-ft). After installing the new catalytic converter manifold gasket onto the engine position, follow the specifications when tightening converter nuts and add the converter bracket bolts to block exhaust leaks. Follow the specified sequence to tighten the converter nuts in two stages with each stage set to 47 Nm (35 lb-ft). Connect the electrical connectors of the HO2S and catalyst monitor sensor while positioning the heat shield and installing six heat shield bolts which need to be secured to 10 Nm torque (89 lb-in). The two catalytic converter bracket bolts need installation before tightening to 25 Nm (18 lb-ft) while reattaching the exhaust flexible pipe.
